Matthew, I have a recommendation on a subscription management interface that will allow your customer to manage their opt-in list with ease. It has an "Invitation Feature" that will allow them to send a one-time mailing to addresses that he/she purchases (or gets from trade shows, etc...) for confirmation of subscription to their list. This feature is nice because it allows the user to click on a link to confirm their addition to the list. (Nice and easy for the end user - no form to fill out, just click on a link.) You can manage many lists and send your mailer from one single screen. It's not free but I found that it pays for itself within a couple of mailings.
Go to http://www.cgiscriptcenter.com/ and click on Subscribe Me. The enterprise version is the only one that offers this "Invitation Feature", but the shareware version is a nifty tool as well. Hope this helps...

She has thousands of e-mail addresses she's received from people at trade shows, and she wants to send them messages. I know that if you hack the config files for majordomo, you can prevent lists members from using the list, limiting it to a single person doing the mailing. However, is majordomo the best tool for this job, or should I look into something else? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
